Better to ask why the U.K. does not act on behalf of their own citizens ?

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

It was just announced that Australian citizens will be evacuated from the cruise ship in Japan. Kiwis on board will be offered seats on the chartered Qantas flight.

The Australian government will launch an evacuation of more than 200 Australians trapped on the Diamond Princess cruise ship and quarantine them in a Darwin mining camp for another two weeks.

Qantas will fly to Japan on Wednesday to pick up the passengers from Yokohama, where they have spent the past two weeks as more than 200 of their fellow travellers have been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Sky News is given to understand the British Embassy in Tokyo has emailed British passengers on board the ship asking them if they would be interested in a flight home . Nothing definite is planned .

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Evacuated Americans Carried Virus From Cruise Ship to Airplane

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/17/w...#link-760bc675

Fourteen passengers, who were believed to be well before they were evacuated from a cruise ship in Japan on Monday, were found to be infected before boarding a charter plane to the United States.

The 14 infected passengers were moved into a specialized containment area on the evacuation aircraft, where they were to be isolated and monitored. They had been found to be asymptomatic and “fit to fly” before the evacuation, according to the statement.

The United States has 15 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus. That number will nearly double when the 14 infected passengers arrive.
That's bad news .....

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan confirms 99 new coronavirus cases

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ty-locked-down

12% of passengers and crew (1 out of 8) have so far tested positive to the virus (454 cases out of 3,711).

Hundreds of American passengers from the Diamond Princess have been flown back to the US - fourteen passengers tested positive during the evacuation.

Australia said it would follow suit on Wednesday. Both countries have said citizens will face a further two weeks of quarantine after arriving home.
Keeping potentially infected people close together is obviously not a good idea - one passenger on the ship reported that passengers leaned around balcony partitions to talk to their neighbours .....

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Must be awful to be flown for hours in what looks like a cargo crate. Poor people. I understand why it is necessary but do feel for them.
